Read the course syllabus first thing. The syllabus will tell you when your instructor is available to answer questions and provide extra help. You will quickly see what will be expected of you in the course. The syllabus tells you what your instructor wants you to learn, and thus how to prepare for tests.
At school, keep a water bottle close. Staying hydrated is something you need to do all day long. Be especially aware of your hydration if you are attending back-to-back classes. Being hydrated helps you to think clearly and learn more efficiently. A lot of water fountains out there allow for easy bottle refills as well.
Spend the maximum amount of time studying every day. The greater your dedication to studying, the more benefits you are sure to reap. Although socializing need not be eliminated, college should still be treated as a job with full time hours. Excelling in college will have a dramatic, positive impact on your future.
You should be respectful of your roommate's wishes. You need to learn how to work with him or her so that it makes your time easier. Sit down when you first get to school and find out what you both expect out of a roommate so you can both be happy.
Are you under a lot of pressure for a certain class you are not sure you will pass? You should talk to your academic adviser or to your instructor about credit no credit. Most schools will let you take one class where you will get credit but your grade will not impact your GPA.
During college, there are going to be classes that you realize are too difficult from the onset as you should drop these immediately. These classes can put a lot of stress on you, as you would be better off with an alternative. Also, a different teacher may be able to explain the material better.
When you go to college you often times will stay out late with friends to study or go to a party. Be safe, never walk home alone, carry your phone with you at all times, know where the safe zones are on campus, and consider carrying a small spray canister of pepper spray with you.
Schedule study time every day. There are many distractions when you are in college, but your focus needs to be on learning. Make a promise to yourself to set aside an hour every day, no matter what, to study. Even if you do not think you need to on that particular day, continue with your schedule. Studying will be easier if it becomes a habit.
Study during the day. It is best to study when you are awake and at your most alert. Studying at night or when you are already fatigued can lead to you spending more time than is usually necessary to comprehend something. Studying while you are wide awake will help you retain information faster and more easily.
You will need to study a lot to keep your grades up, but take one day a week off to relax and regenerate. Approach your learning by immersing yourself in your courses. Talk about the subject to others, look for references to it in the world around you and apply it to your life in general.
Now that you have read this article, you should feel empowered to make better use of your pending or coming time in college. Apply any of these ideas to get a step ahead of the pack, or try them all for a breakout semester that moves you ahead in life!
